Mini Item Contents:
Chocolate Pucca (Meiji Pucca Chocolate): On the back of the box, there's a comic (too bad I don't know Japanese). Chocolate filled biscuits.
Crackling Cotton (Meiji Watapachi Grape): There's also a comic on the back! It's basically pop rocks in cotton candy. Tastes good actually.
Soy Sauce Pretz (Glico Pretz Shoyu Tare): This is a first.
Mario Kart Gum (Top Mario Kart 8 Tsurisage Gum): There are ten pieces, and it sort of taste like those ramune candies, but they barely have any flavor.

Original Item Content:
Chocoroom DIY (Meiji Tsukurou Kinoko no Yama): I saw this item in an Asian market for $4.25. This DIY reminds me a lot like the Kabaya Panda DIY from the March box.

| Puzzle & Dragons x Bikkuriman Wafer |
Puzzle & Dragons x Bikkuriman Wafer (Lotte Puzzdra Man Choco): Basically the same as Kami Bikkuriman Wafer from April 2015's Japan Crate. The description said it includes a card, but it's a sticker.
Crayon Shin-Chan Candy (Orion Crayon Shinchan Color Ramune): Is this suppose to have flavor? This tasted like nothing to me... The ramune taste is there when you get past the hardness, but it doesn't really have much flavor though... But I did like how you pull Shin-Chan's pants down to get a candy. xD

| Pokemon Puzzle Gum |
Pokemon Puzzle Gum (Top Pokemon Eawase Sticker Gum): It's nice to see a Pokemon item, but it's basically one of the Mario Kart Gum, just with a puzzle sticker included.
**[This item belongs in the Premium]** Soda Mixing Jelly Beans ():
Premium Item Content:
Creamy Melon Soda (Sangaria Fuwatto Melon Cream Soda):
Japanese BBQ Scones (Koikeya Scorn Wafu Barbecue): I think I'll keep thanking Japan Crate for including a bag of chips in their boxes.
Wow, Such Banana? () :
**[This item belongs in the Original] (Meiji Sangto Awa Awa Candy):
Overall: I think I should visit the Asian market more often and take photos of the items that are in the Crates. Since the Chocoroom DIY was $4.25, it makes me wonder how much are the other items too, and if this box is worth $30.
